Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 5 Chapter 83: Battle of the Anlen Hills (2)

"I promise that my soldiers can kill in the shortest possible time!" As soon as he thought of the purpose of coming over, Mattonis shouted with courage.

Davers smiled: "Noisy! You think this is playing a football game. What do you want?! Go back and direct your brigade. If it affects the entire army's attack, the military law will not spare you!"

After seeing the departure of Matonis, Davers turned to Tormed: "Go to Amintas, Matones asks to replace his brigade, on the grounds that the third team can do better, let He looked at it."

Tolmide immediately understood the intention of Davers and went away.

攸Marcas sees that Daves commanded the generals and the soldiers as the fingers, not at all compared to the official appointed by Tarantum, and the mind is quite complicated.

"Hey Marcus, let's go to the hills." Davers led the **** to the hill behind him.

"Hey?" 攸Marcus asked with amazement: "Daveus, are we not involved in the offensive?"

"If I am involved in the offensive, who will command the battle?" Davers laughed.

"After the battle begins, do you still need to command?" 攸Marcus, who has participated in the battle many times in his youth, could not understand that a governor was not a leader, but "hidden" behind the troops, and could see Davis behind him. The soldiers all have a natural expression, obviously do not think their consul is a coward.

攸Marcas had to follow a doubt with a stomach.

"Commander, I... What is the battle mission of my battalion?" Izam rushed up and asked Daves directly. Now his men have completed the task of exploring the road and are returning from all over.

"Your battalion..." Daphus turned his head and looked at the mountain squad that was gathering not far away. He almost forgot this important force. He thought about it and said: "For the time being as a reserve team, let them first hide. Rest in the ramp when we came."

"Ah... reserve team?!" Izzam heard, some dissatisfied.

"Do not worry, the mountain battle is your specialty, and you will not be able to wait for the battle to start." Daves comforted him.

Izzam laughed.

...........................

"How? I said that you will fail! With Davers for so long, you still don't know him. Once you start to fight, you will change your personal status. If you have a good relationship with him, you will be strict. You obey the order, otherwise...hey..." Oliver saw the dejected Matonis coming back, half of it was joke, and half comforted.

Matones ignored him and walked straight to the front of his brigade.

"The captain, the company has been lined up!" The adjutant reported.

"Call the captains, I have something to say!" Mattonis said with a calm face.

Soon, five company captains arrived.

"You all listen, I only have one request. All the soldiers must attack with all their strength. Our third team will be the first to break through the enemy's front!" Matones looked directly at them and said categorically: "Which company, which team? Which team, which soldier does not perform well, I will not only marry him! And I don’t want to see my good face in the future!"

"Understand!!" The captains replied loudly, they did not feel pressure, but they were all excited.

..............................

"Brothers are listening, take off the helmet!" The captain gave the order.

Although the soldiers followed the orders and took off the heavy Collins helmet, some recruits felt strange: "I am going to start the war soon. Why do you want to take off your helmet? Isn't it easy to get hurt?"

The veterans who have experienced the Persian expedition and have carried out many mountain battles will tell them: "We have to climb up, attack on the head, the helmet is too heavy, it is easy for us to fall, and the helmet eye is small, when we look up The helmet slides back, which easily blocks our view and is not conducive to fighting..."

"But without the protection of the helmet, we are easily injured!" The recruits still have some concerns.

"Is there a round shield?" The veteran put a pose, put the round shield on top of his head, and leaned forward with a large angle: "See no! There are round shields and slopes to protect your body, not to be hurt." When he said this, he sighed: "Unfortunately, our new helmet can't be worn this time, or wear it, climb the mountain, and fight without any problems!"

..............................

"Great King, look at the enemy's right wing!" Pucciti will lead Pullo's finger to the foot of the mountain: behind the Greek array of "blocks" like a team, and the army's endless movement to the right wing...

"Their right wing is significantly more than the left wing! There are not so many people on our side. To form an array as long as they are, you have to thin the thickness of the formation, so the defense will be weakened, but the strength will be weakened, but If you don't do this, you will be picked up by their soldiers from the outside of our left wing and attack our flank..."

Tremeni frowned and looked at the changes under the mountain. He understood the intentions of the enemy. He looked at the enemy and only formed a "small box". It was not even formed into a large square, so he thought there was still Allow enough time to adjust.

Puchetti's army is on the top of the hill, and Daves can't see the approximate number of Meppe coalition forces. In fact, there are less than 12,000 troops in Tremeni, plus more than 3,000 Mesapi soldiers headed by Igrati, with a total population of 15,000. And the Daiyanian reinforcements, only 14,000 people in the two legions of the Diaonia, plus a thousand reconnaissance brigade, and 3,000 people in Heraclea and Metapumpum, more than face to face The Maple coalition has 3,000 more people.

Tremeni has more enemies, and the biggest advantage is that the hills, he must not lose the advantage of condescending. So he made a quick decision: "Pullo, you speed up 1,500 people to strengthen the left wing!"

Just as the Puchettis began to mobilize their troops and prepare to go to the left, the military number of Yamashita suddenly sounded.

Trimney was very surprised: the Greeks have not listed the square, they rushed to attack?

In his doubtful eyes, the "small squares" formed by the Diaonians have begun to move forward slowly, then turn their heads to look at their own army, although the Puchettis do not have a closely arranged square array in Greece. However, there are also neat and orderly formations, but at the moment, because of the troops, the soldiers are completely confused.

"Pullo, stop mobilizing!" He hurriedly ordered.

"Yes! But what about the left side?"

Tremeni thought for a moment and said, "You immediately tell Timo Grasse to let him transfer the cavalry that is idle and behind, to help our left wing!"

...........................

Trifias also did not expect the Deonians to start attacking so quickly, and their army was still on their way to the right.

"Adult, what do we do?!" asked anxiously.

"First come to our position and say it." Trefias said calmly.

Fortunately, because of the advancement of the Dionysian army, the mountains have become less narrow and more convenient for their march.

When Davers heard the sound of the military, he couldn’t help but praise: "The first leg movement is very fast!"

Then, the military number was also sounded on the right side.

He nodded: "The second legion is not slow!"

"Total Commander!" Tormide came from the foot of the mountain and said with breathlessness: "The troops of Heraclea and Metapentum have not yet reached the intended position and cannot attack."

"Don't worry, they will attack better later," Daves said without hesitation, as if everything was in control.

Tolmide is also a wise man. Once Daves reminded, he immediately understood: Heraclia and Metapumpu soldiers have weaker fighting power. If they attack at the same time, they face the fierce Meppe coalition and are on the assault. The disadvantages are likely to encounter failures and become a drag on the entire army. And their late arrival will make the opposite enemy incomprehensible, and is likely to participate in the battle with the Second Legion, making the 3,000 people in the late Trephias become the extra squad on the battlefield!

攸Marcas can't be as easy as Dafoss~www.novelmtl.com~ After the sound of the military squad, his heartbeat began to accelerate, his eyes moved with the movement of the mountain army, and nearly 40,000 people will start the battle. The outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the Tarantum army...

...........................

The Tarantum army, which was determined to be destined, was not far from the battlefield. On the narrow winding valley, their six-mile marching column was ambushed by the Mesapi people and fell into chaos and panic. In the middle, they completely lost their organization and command, and they were only able to fight each other.

Diomeras had no time to regret at the moment that he did not listen to Daves. He shouted loudly to cheer the soldiers around and fight bravely for survival. But on the boiling battlefield, his voice is like a stone in the rapids, and it can't play any role.

The Mesapi people gradually squeezed them tightly on the ramp from the pinch on both sides, making them start to feel difficult even with the spear.

Diomeras was filled with the screams of the soldiers and gradually felt desperate...

At this time, on the battlefield, regardless of the enemy, there was a small commotion.

"The sound of the military number! It is the sound of the military! Our reinforcements are coming!!" The cheers of the soldiers broke into the numb ears of Dai Omiras, and let him listen and listen carefully.

The hustle and bustle of the sky still can't stop the sharp military sound, it breaks through the heavy resistance, and faintly echoes between the valleys that kill the sound...

In the mind of Dai Onlas, the image of Davis was immediately revealed. At this moment, he did not hate it. Instead, he shouted with joy: "Citizens, hold on! The people of Deonia are coming!..."

Needless to say, the soldiers have already seen the hope of life, and the morale of nature has risen. The Mesapi people are stepping up their attacks...
